newVideoPlayer(“/googlevoice_today_lifehacker.flv”, 506, 423,””); The Today Show takes a look at Google Voice this morning (as we did three months ago), with correspondent Janet Shamlian offering a very generalized overview and announcing it would open today. Updates: See below.
As of this morning, though, Google Voice‘s login page was still pegged with “Coming soon” and “Existing GrandCentral users.” Shamlian says in the clips that Google Voice would be “available today, nationwide.”
Update: Google Voice’s official Twitter account just posted that “Invites to people on reservations list” are “starting to go out today.” No indication how many at once. If you want in and haven’t signed up, request an invitation.
Update 2: And now Google Voice says the “list is huge, so it will take a while to get though them all.” Google’s official blog also confirms the invite release.
Update 3: In a related, but far more disappointing, development, Google seems to have pulled the ability to send SMS through Gmail’s chat box, at least from our view and many Twitter users’. If you still have SMS available through your chat box, let us know in the comments.
